Titans Fan Brings Telling Mike Vrabel Sign To Patriots’ Week 7 Game

Titans Fan Brings Telling Mike Vrabel Sign To Patriots’ Week 7 Game

Plenty of Tennessee Titans fans wish Mike Vrabel was on their sideline instead of coaching the New England Patriots on Sunday.

The organization is probably second-guessing its decision, and Titans fans certainly wish the situation had unfolded differently. MassLive’s Mark Daniels shared a photo of a sign spotted at Nissan Stadium.

“There’s a team that’s trending up, and there’s a team that’s trending down,” Edelman said. “The team that’s trending down is the Buffalo Bills. I’m hitting that panic button right now.”

Edelman is particularly apprehensive about Buffalo’s No. 30 rushing defense, which ceded 210 yards on the ground...

Patriots vs. Titans game day roster: Kyle Dugger in for another busy day

The New England Patriots will be without one of their starting safeties for a second straight week. Jaylinn Hawkins, who rarely left the field between Weeks 1 and 5, will be out again versus the Tennessee Titans due to a hamstring injury.

In his place, former starter Kyle Dugger is set to see a heavy workload once again.

Last week versus New Orleans, he ended up playing all 56 defensive snaps and after giving up a 53-yard reception on the first play from settled down. He ended the game with three tackles while the Patriots beat the Saints 25-19.
